Established in 1948 by a group of artists led by Norman Rockwell and former Society of illustrators President Albert Dorne, the Famous Artists School became a household name during the mid-twentieth century. It offered aspiring artists correspondence courses in illustration, painting, and cartooning as a viable path to a creative and successful career, or, as the School put it, to a "Richer Life Through Art."
This video, based on a special exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum, explore the artworks and creative methods featured in the program, during the 1940s and 1950s. Featured interviews include: Robert and Magdalen Livesey, owners of Cortina International and donors of FAS collection to Norman Rockwell Museum; Walt Reed, FAS instructor and founder of Illustration House; and illustrators and FAS students Elwood Smith and Howard Cruse.

I took this course back in the 1960's....my dad offered it to me, or I could go on to college, but he only had money for one. :-)
Lucky you.
Like anything in life.You get out of this(the course) what you put into it! Truth is you can learn the fundamentals of art, but having a successful career in art can be fleeting.
In the mid 70's I took only one year while in the US Air Force but that had opened up so many art doors n still a full time artist/ cartoonist
I wish I had been of age to take this course in the 1950s. I had the misfortune of going to college in the early 1970s when teachers were strictly into Abstract Expressionism. I didn't get access to real knowledge until I was hired by Disney Animation in the 1980s-- and I only got that job because a whole generation of students my age had been denied a decent art education and Disney had to hire whom they could and train them. Since the 2000s I have been doing concept art for both animation and animation and I intend to continue working through my 70s.
Thank you teachers! :)!
I met Walt at Illustration House
What’s the year to look for in these lesson books. The 50’s or 60’s.
Charles Schultz had a different take on this school. It was rare that any of the “famous” illustrators critiqued anything...
I'm sure Schultz had a bad experience, but I took the course back in the late 1950s and every one of my lessons submitted were critiqued. I only finished about half of the lessons while working in a factory in my home town, but they were very helpful to give me a leg up when I headed off to art school in Chicago 9 months later. -Elwood H Smith
did frank reiley also participate in this course?
Does anyone have this course.?
Too bad art isn't looked upon with favor like it use to be.....
How old is this? I'm a 78 yr old self taught portrait painter.No one had big money back then so I studied the masters.
Haw many women did good from the school ?
